And you shall spend the money for whatever your soul desires—for oxen or for sheep or for wine or for strong drink or for whatever your soul asks of you—and you shall eat there before Hashem your God and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
English: "You and your household" — Rabbi Tanchum said in the name of Rabbi Chanilai: Any Jew who has no wife dwells without joy, as it is said "and you shall rejoice, you and your household."
On the daf / in context: “Your household” is understood as one’s wife; without her the mitzvah of rejoicing cannot be fully realized.
Type of Learning
Derash on the verse (Yevamos) — joy requires a wife.
What Is Learned
A man who has no wife is regarded as dwelling without joy, because the verse links rejoicing to “you and your household.”
